Micro-entry: Quiet Headroom

The kindest systems keep a little unused space on purpose. Not because they failed to optimize, but because ordinary life is full of small surges: one extra tab, one delayed reply, one task that takes longer than expected. Headroom turns those moments from crisis into texture. A machine with no slack is always one spike away from drama. A life with no slack feels the same. Leaving room is not waste. It is how stability stays gentle.
